he fray in the sixth inning as a pinch |
|hitter for Wallie Pipp. Two runners were riding the |
|bases at the time, and when Mullen flayed a single |
|to left he also propelled Baker and Gedeon over the |
|plate with the two units which marked the margin of |
|the New York victory. The Yankees played just the |
|kind of baseball everybody hoped they would and that|
|was just a bit better than the best Washington had |
|to offer. |
| |
|A lot of people from the Edison Company who know |
|First Baseman Judge of the Washington club well |
|enough to call him Joe, presented him with a diamond|
|ring. Judge used to play with the Edison team before|
|he took to the merry life of a professional. Judge |
|shattered baseball tradition after modestly taking |
|the gift by going in and playing a fine game, |
|fielding well and knocking out a clean hit. Most |
|players after receiving a present at a ball game can|
|be counted on to strike out. |
| |
|Among the more or less prominent people present was |
|the man for whom Diogenes, a former resident of |
|Greece, has long been looking. There was no doubt |
|about his being the object of the quest of Diogenes |
|because when a ball was fouled into the grand stand |
|and he caught it, he threw it back into the field |
|instead of hiding it in his pocket. |
| |
|Ray Fisher, who gave up his life unselfishly to |
|teaching school up in Vermont until he found how |
|much money there was in tossing a curved ball, did |
|the twirling for the Yankees and on the few |
|occasions when he was in trouble his teammates came |
|to his support like a rich uncle. In the fourth |
|inning it looked as if Fisher was about to take the |
|elevator for the thirty-sixth floor, but Frank Baker|
|came to his aid and yanked him out of trouble. |
| |
|It was this way: Judge, first man up in the fourth, |
|singled to center. Shanks was hit on the wrist and |
|Jamieson laid a bunt half an inch from the third |
